The 2022 MLB Draft is in the books! The Colorado Rockies made 22 picks in this year’s First-Year Player Draft. With their first pick—10th overall—they selected Gonzaga right-handed pitcher Gabriel Hughes and made three additional day one picks. Their final pick of the draft was Carlos Torres, a right-handed pitcher from Lehigh University.
The Rockies went heavy on pitchers in this year’s draft. 16 of their 22 selections were pitchers and the remaining six were position players. Two of the pitchers drafted—San Jose State’s Brady Hill and East Carolina’s Zach Agnos—are two-way players. The Rockies selected just one high school player in Jackson Cox out of Toutle Lake High School in Toutle, Washington.
